Introduction: Cosmology

#Light and #Shadow are the most fundamental forces in existence. Although contradictory by their very nature, they are bound together on a cosmic scale. One cannot exist without the other.

Pure #Light and #Shadow dwell in a realm outside the borders of reality, but shades of their presence are found in the physical universe. #Light manifests as #Holy magic, while #Shadow (also referred to as "the #Void ") appears as #Shadow magic.

The forces of #Life and #Death hold sway over every living thing in the physical universe. The energies of #Life, known commonly as #Nature magic, promote growth and renewal in all things. #Death, in the form of #Necromancy/Necromantic magic, acts as a counterbalance to #Life. It is an unavoidable force that breeds despair in mortal hearts and pushes everything toward a state of entropic #Decay and eventual oblivion.

The forces of Order and Disorder govern the cosmic systems of the physical universe. Order is most commonly perceived in reality as #Arcane magic. This type of energy is innately volatile, and wielding it requires intense precision and concentration. Conversely, Disorder is manifested as highly destructive #Fel magic. This brutal and extremely addictive energy is fueled by drawing #Life from living beings.
